No Sounds When Playing 3D Pinball (140501)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q140501 SYMPTOMS
When you play 3D Pinball you may not hear any sounds, although sounds are
played correctly in other programs.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the WaveOutDevice setting specified in the
Wavemix.inf file for 3D Pinball does not correspond to the preferred
playback device in the Multimedia audio settings.
RESOLUTION
Edit the Wavemix.inf file in the Program Files\Plus!\Pinball folder and
change the WaveOutDevice setting to correspond to the preferred playback
device in the Multimedia audio settings. To determine the preferred
playback device, double-click the Multimedia icon in Control Panel, and
check the Preferred Device box on the Audio tab.
Using any text editor, open the Wavemix.inf file in the Program Files\
Plus!\Pinball folder. In the [General] section of the file, locate the
following line:
WaveOutDevice=0
Change this line to read:
WaveOutDevice=1
Save the Wavemix.inf file and then restart the computer.
Notes- Be sure to edit the Wavemix.inf file in the Pinball folder. Do not
edit any other Wavemix.inf file.
- If you are using a Creative Labs Phone Blaster, or possibly other
multiple-function devices, it may be necessary to change the
WaveOutDevice setting to 2 instead of 1.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Plus! version
1.0 for Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
